Graying U.S.

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Today the babies being born in the U.S. are fewer in number than, say, the babies born fifty years ago (1968). In 20 years, the babies born in 2017 will be 21 years old and still fewer in number than those 70-year-olds who were born in 1968. Older people will make up a bigger portion of the population than older people do now.

By 2030, every baby boomer citizen - that very big generation born after WWII - will be over 65. One out of every five Americans (including babies) will be at retirement age.
